Helps Chrome run faster by freeing up memory and system resources being used by inactive tabs or old tabs
New Features Discard all tabs at startup Prevents Chrome from loading all your tabs at startup, while preserving the tabs in your last session. Discard eligible tabs Same as "Discard other tabs" but observes the current auto-discard settings, like skipping Pinned and Audio tabs. Link to Chrome Discards page Adds a link on the context and popup menus to launch the built-in chrome://discards/ page. Discarding a tab does not close or remove or delete the tab. It's a feature of Chrome that simply frees up resources and memory that the tab is using. Discarding tabs should let Chrome run faster while consuming less memory.
